Gracias.

Nunca había oído o leído esta palabra. Por medio de Google encontré este artículo, http://www.forbes.com/2009/04/23/how...ks-zimmer.html, que indica que en 2003 Joss Wheden la inventó y la dio el significado de "más equivocado". Nunca se ha popularizado a menos que sea dentro de algún grupo de amigos. A menos que quisieras tratar de popularizarla, no hay ocasión de usarla.

So, it's just another case of:

Miss Krabappel: - "I'd never heard the word glemphy until I moved to Springfield".
Miss Hover: - "I don’t know why; it’s a perfectly cromulent word."

Just people trying to embiggen the common lexicon by fostering language evolution from their castles during one stormy night ...
